A Clinical Guide to Fibre Reinforced Composites FRCs in Dentistry

A Clinical Guide to Fibre Reinforced Composites FRCs in Dentistry provides clinicians and students with a hands-on guide to the use of FRCs (fibre-reinforced composites) within the field of dentistry. As traditional dental materials, such as metals and ceramics, have a number of disadvantages, including cost and the significant damage caused by grinding while making space for metal and ceramic crowns, this book presents a comprehensive overview of FRCs, a novel group of lightweight, durable, biocompatible dental materials characterized by fibrous fillers that are increasingly being used in place of traditional prosthodontic materials. Explores the methods of mechanical testing in orthopedic implants Presents comprehensive information on the expanding field of fibre-reinforced composites and their increasing use in dentistry INDICE: 1. Key requirements for dental FRCs 2. Types of FRCs used in dentistry 3. Structural Properties of dental FRC devices 4. Applications of FRCs in dentistry: an overview 5. Fabrication of direct dental FRC devices 6. Fabrication of indirect dental FRC devices 7. Root canal anchoring systems 8. Periodontal and trauma splints 9. Fillings and core-built ups 10. Orthodontic retainers 11. Removable devices and maxillofacial epithesis prosthesis 12. Longevity of FRC restorations and FRC based treatment 13.
